Verdict on Ghosted
Recap
The movie follows a newly single struggling actress who continues to chase her dreams, while facing problems in her pursuits. However, a new man changes her world, but she is facing a bigger dilemma in her life.
Best Parts
The reflection on the struggles in life and trying to ignore the bigger problems is clear to see here. It is easy to relate to Mercy’s desires for love, chasing dreams and becoming somebody. Elsewhere, the performances are good throughout the movie.
Worst Parts
The romantic figures are almost laughable series of fantasy figures that people would put a on a shortlist of the perfect match that never exist. It shows how shallow dating truly is and with that the movie struggles to get a single laugh on route. Elsewhere, the series subject involved only seem to take the backseat to the less interesting things involved.
Final Thoughts –Ghosted does everything for a fantasy romance people can’t ever have.
